Answer;

C. Traits acquired during a lifetime are not passed on to offspring


Explanation;

Lamarck's theory of evolution, also called as theory of inheritance of acquired traits was rejected because he suggested that the acquired characteristics which an organisms acquires through its life experiences are transferred to its next generation, which is not possible since acquired characters does not bring any change to an individuals set of genes.
